Think he looks way better in this video review than he has in any previous online photos... I'm actually looking forward to getting him now, whereas before September was just a "blah" month in an otherwise fantastic year.

I do agree about the 200X design being better BUT I never liked how the staction was so haunched over. I also see the points about the proportions BUT he's a FANTASY character. He should be wiggling around somewhere with no legs if he were and actual leech or slug. So, for the the proportions don't really bother me all that much.

Thanks for the review, and the comparisons of the heads.
I think his proportions are fine, I never really thought about it or noticed anything 'off-looking' about it. Looks great!
I agree the undersides of his hands could have used a bit of detail, but it's still alright. I'm likely to keep his hands pointing down anyway.

i agree that the standard arms & legs don't look right with the head and torso. i wish they'd waited for leech until they could afford all new parts. but overall i still like him and i think the head sculpt is great. thanks for the review!

I like him fine. But I do have those few gripes about his proportions, etc. So he's not my favorite.

No Hurricane Hordak yet. He did not arrive with Leech.

One thing I noticed is that the Classics version has a much deeper mouth. The 200x Staction actually has the leech-like sucker mouth all the way up by his teeth. I think that is the real difference not necessarily how wide open his mouth is.

He has a little bit of up and down motion, and you can see from some of the poses. But yes, it is hindered a bit. The larger head and body and longer snout do hinder the movement a bit.

Yep! Exactly like Bow's!

Just 1 question is his armour removable at all?

thanks

Nope. It's all sculpted on as a new torso piece. No removable armor.

Kind of...

Thanks Dan! Not seeing the proportions problem at all, though. When I look at the vintage figure, it seems to me that his arms were already pretty thin when compared to his big body. Seems to work just fine, honestly.

Anyway, I'm really lookin' forward to this guy! Looks fantastic!
